Was searching ebay earlier today for some 4386 oil filters for Toyota. Was wondering where you folks buy oil filters online as some members here have more than 1 or 2 vehicles. Lookin' at maybe buying a case of auto extra 51394 since I haven't saw issues with them.


Thank You folks

Rock Auto for me. For Canadians, Amazon.ca is horrible for car stuff, once in a while they have a good price but in general they are 3x the price of RA. We have dedicated online parts stores here, but they can't match the prices that Americans get day-in-day-out. Example of how size matters.
 
Rock auto for Canadians. Sometimes there is a manufacturer's clearance. You need to check the shipping price for the order and try a few numbers. There is number where you can create the lowest cost per filter, shipped.

Thank You, I'll look into this

Ebay or Amazon, whoever has a better deal. I usually buy 10 at a time for my two Camry's as they get multiple oil changes per year and that gets the best price. I stick to OEM though, maybe there's better deals out there, but bulk pricing gets a price I am ok with.
 
Caveat Emptor with Fleabay. They are the king of counterfeit auto products, courtesy of Communist China. Buy OEM from dealers to be safe...
 
I have set up an alert on Amazon for Baldwin filters. Anytime they hover around $5, instead of usual $10+ (at least twice a year, shipping takes a month though, they drop the price because they are out of stock), I grab 2-4.
 
I've purchased from rockauto; and then used one particular seller on eBay frequently. at least by sticking with the one, well-established ebay seller, I feel confident that I am not getting counterfit...
 
Another rockauto buyer. Use your work address, might be a couple bucks cheaper!

Target price for me is under a buck plus shipping. They very often have them for ~$1.56 or so.
 
Yep, standardized a size across everything I own (And now to include my kids Civic) and buy them 12 at a time. Currently using the Partsmaster (Wix Built) and have some Champion ones to follow. Usually buy them on Ebay.
